new tree skirt

The handmade tree got a new skirt this week. I love this alexander henry yuletide 2d zoo fabric so much. So festive and cute. I cut out some animals from the scraps and make them into ornaments for the tree. This tree should see a lot of action next week when O’s done with school. I’ve got a stack of ideas waiting for him.

I love the pom pon edging! A tree skirt is one of the things that I never got around to this year. My old one got lost in the move and I’ve currently just got some muslin wrapped around the base. Maybe next year!

There’s something for everyone here—from kids to grown-ups and from beginning sewers to advanced dollmakers. Published by STC Craft, August, 2010.
